Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide

This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

i use Kaffeine, the KDE mediaplayer. it works admirably well as a dvb-t tv, and offers some nice options like instant recording, scheduled recording, etc.

check it out, it's really rather good.

you might also want to check out "maxemum tv guide" (that's not a typo, the author spells it funny). it's an absolutely outstanding tv-guide application, works with xmltv, easily the best tv-guide i've ever used.

I downloaded kaffeine but there's no tv. Just for cd & dvd. I do have tvtime but it doesn't record shows. And maxemumm doesn't work either. I installed it but when I go to find it I get a 'not installed'.

I am using the composite part of my tv tuner card because the cable guy broke the cable input. The composite works good(I have the cable box fed thru my vcr to the composite input on the tv tuner card).but I can't get tvtime to record.I don't know if it is suppose to.Is there something I'm missing?
